Bed and pillows were very comfortable. HVAC was effective and relatively quiet. Bathroom exhaust fan was not working. Breakfast typical standard offerings, nothing special but okay. Relatively dated but clean, we would definitely stay again, good value.

This was the cleanest hotel I have seen in at least 5 years! Completely spotless room. Quiet, friendly staff and a great rate. It was too pricey for us to stay in Medora for our trip to the badlands and the Watford was the perfect alternative. Staying in Watford City allowed to see the North side of the park as well, which was fantastic. Would definitely stay here again.

Great breakfast and a very clean room. The staff was incredibly nice, friendly, and welcoming. My only issue was that my room key seemed to deactivate every two days, which was a little inconvenient. Other than that, I had a great stay and would definitely consider staying here again.

The rooms and facility is well maintained and the rooms were spacious and clean, but the star of the place was definitely the lady who cooked breakfast everyday. Delicious and such variety! Every morning we looked forward to breakfast and was never disappointed wherher it was the alluring smell of bacon in the air or freshly made pancakes. A hero among heroes!
